I have a great deal of experience in working with young children and adolescents. With very young children the best way to build trust and make them feel comfortable is through play therapy. For especially young children it is extremely difficult for them to sit and talk for an extended period of time without any type of stimulation. I believe that you can learn a great deal by interacting with children through play and watching them.

It is essential to properly identify children who need support early on. When children are expressing behavioral, social, academic or interpersonal problems, they are begging for help. Proper help begins with understanding why the child is expressing symptoms. Psychologists on our staff have strong backgrounds in child development, neuropsychology, psychological testing, clinical and school psychology.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

When working with children, I use a compassionate, strength-based approach. I help children identify strengths and take pride in the things they do best. I create a friendly, approachable, creative environment where children feel safe expressing themselves. In my child counseling sessions I often use age-appropriate approaches like play therapy, games and art to help children communicate in ways that are comfortable, familiar and assessable. With the help of child counseling, it’s possible for your child to have a better relationship with you, teachers and peers. Parenting doesn’t have to be a war between wills. With help, you can have the peaceful household you've always dreamed of.
